The Department of Metal Antiquities

As a musical genre, heavy metal (and all it's sub-genres) has only existed for 50 years, but in that time there have been a great many happenings that we have collectively forgotten. In this podcast Nik Cameron and Duncan Evans will be going through albums, concerts, etc in a vain glorious attempt to remember it all. We contextualize the subject and then we take it track by track. In the end, we'll tell you if you should spin it or bin it.

    DMA 182: "Under Cover" by Ozzy Osbourne

    It was 2005 and everybody was doing it, so Ozzy did it too, but he did it with serious backup. Ozzy enlists the allstar band of Mike Bordin of Faith No More on the drums. Chris Wyse of The Cult and later Ace Frehley on bass. What does he do about a six string gunslinger? He gets Jerry MF Cantrell of Alice In Chains. Now that he has this all star band to kill all all star bands does he set about writing an album the define his career and crush all comers? No. He does a covers record.

    DMA #179: "Roadkill" by Capital Punishment f/Ben Stiller

    DMA Classic #5: "Headless Cross" by Black Sabbath

    In 1988, Black Sabbath is in a slump. It's time for the once again revised line up of Iommi, Martin, and some kids from the neighborhood deliver the record that Black Sabbath fans will cry for. Sabbath is on a new label and ready to show the world. Tony Martin may have gotten the wrong idea about the lyrics, but riffs? Am I right?

    DMA Classic: "Music From The Elder" by Kiss

    Imagine you're sitting across from the greatest record producer of your age. A man who's made Alice Cooper a star, a man who turned your dinky record to a worldwide hit, and not just that... But this is Bob Ezrin, the man who helmed the creation of the greatest record of all time, The Wall. He's looking you in the eye and telling you it's time to reinvent yourselves with a concept record. Strap in for Kiss's most amazing mistake. Thanks!!!!!!

    In the beginning, Rush, like many bands was trying to be The blank's Led Zeppelin. As we all know, that didn't work out. Instead, they simply became Rush.
